Description

Bis(Hydroxyethyl)Methyloleylammonium Chloride is a quaternary ammonium compound (quat) featuring a long-chain oleyl group, making it a versatile cationic surfactant and conditioning agent. Its molecular structure provides excellent substantivity to various substrates, offering softening, antistatic, and emulsifying properties. This chemical is essential for formulators in the personal care, textile, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking effective cationic performance.

Application

• Hair Conditioners & Cream Rinses: Primary ingredient for providing excellent detangling, softness, and manageability to hair.
• Fabric Softeners: Imparts a soft hand feel and reduces static cling on textiles and fabrics.
• Personal Care Emulsions: Acts as an emulsifier and cationic conditioning agent in skin creams, lotions, and other leave-on products.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Used in formulations for surface cleaning and sanitization where cationic activity is beneficial.
• Antistatic Agents: Applied in products for plastics, synthetic fibers, and electronics to dissipate static charge.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Serves as a corrosion inhibitor and surfactant in drilling and production fluids.
